TMSBrad Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Hey guys, I see that several of you mounted your GPS antenna under your dash. Do any of you have pix of what that looks like so I can get some ideas on how/where to mount mine under there? I have a convertible so I can't mount it on the roof, I don't have a rear package tray, and I don't want it on the trunk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Itchy Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I don't have a picture, but I slid my antenna under the dash through the radio opening, as far forward as possible, to the point where it was pressing up against the underside of the top dash. Then I simply took velcro and stuck it their. As far as reception, I've been getting up to all 8 satellites. Later I read to use the included magnetic sticky pad, otherwise, as quoted from the installation manual "reception will be poor". However I don't have any problems. In your case, try mounting it away from any overhead metal, and see what kind of reception you're getting in the connection status menu. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EndoNav1 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 My Sirius att is magnetic, so it's sitting right on top of the d3 itself dead center, with great GPS signal. One less visable piece on my stang's dash. Very Nice Stang BTW! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One less visable piece on my stang's dash. Very Nice Stang BTW! Glad that worked out for you. Just be careful though... there's a hard drive in there and the GPS antenna has a strong magnet. The two don't really mix well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VT FIJI Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 there is no hard drive in the D3 The D3 isn't a hard drive based navi, but I thought it has a small one to keep the route in memory. If you check the specs, there's 15gb of memory. I assumed it was a small hard drive, but I could be wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coocho Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 you are definitely wrong. It is most likely 15mbs of RAM. Not hard drive space. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My mistake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
